Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ tbsp shortening or coconut oil
  • 12 oz chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Melt butter. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until you get a thick dough.
  • Separate dough into 24 pieces. Using your hands, shape each piece into an egg . Place the peanut butter eggs on a wax-paper lined surface.
  • Add the chocolate chips and shortening or coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Melt together by microwaving in 30 second bursts, stirring in between.
  • Dip peanut butter eggs into the chocolate, making sure that they are completely coated. Remove eggs from chocolate, shake off excess chocolate, and replace on wax paper.
  • If you plan to use sprinkles or other decorations, add them while the chocolate is still melted.
  • Allow eggs to set. They will take about 2 hours at room temperature, or you can put them in the fridge to cut setting time to 30 minutes.
  • Once the eggs are set, they are ready to eat!
